South Sudan and Sudan: The Humanitarian Crisis

Casie Copeland, Crisis Group's Consulting Analyst and Jérôme Tubiana, Crisis Group's Sudan Senior Analyst, highlight the growing humanitarian crisis in South Sudan, recently declared a "Level 3" global emergency by the UNOCHR, a distinction shared only by Syria and the Central African Republic. The UN has worryingly issued a warning of famine in a country where perhaps 1 million people have been displaced in the last 3 months.
